, to provide you with wonderful reading. The King of Shu postponed the day of action for half a month, before the Lantern Festival. Li Yi could only accept it passively. He could not force him with a knife on his neck. That was too inhumane. Already.
There are comings and goings, everyone discusses problems, expresses their opinions, and compromises with each other. This is the way to solve problems.
For example, I helped him plan the time and route. He thought it would be better to do it after the Chinese New Year. I also felt that what he said made sense. We met at the Lantern Festival, so the matter was settled.
The next thing will be much easier. If Shuzhou wants to develop, after clearing away official governance and banditry, as well as the instability factor of the King of Shu, the first thing to clear is those closed or outdated policies.
At present, for ordinary people in Shuzhou, agriculture is still the most important and basic. It is related to whether they can have enough to eat and whether they are hungry.
On this basis, we must emphasize that industry, agriculture, and business go hand in hand and develop together.
That's exactly what they do these days.
Lower tariffs, attract investment, cancel curfews, open night markets, build workshops, and provide a large number of jobs for women who have nothing to do at home. The goods produced in the workshops are then sold to businessmen from various countries...
Shuzhou will become the first special economic zone in Jingguo.
…
Walking with Ruyi Ruoqing on the streets of Yongxian County again, this place is very different from what we saw a few months ago.
In the past, the streets of Yongxian County were dirty and messy. Garbage could be seen everywhere. Sewer ditches were everywhere. When passing through certain sections of the road, you had to cover your mouth and nose.
Nowadays, the streets are cleaned by dedicated personnel. Not only are they spotless, at least they no longer have that dirty feeling.
Of course, the Yongxian county government did this not just to implement the governor's policy.
Since the tariff and commercial law reform in Shuzhou, in a short period of time, it has attracted businessmen from Jing, Qi, and even Wu.
Shuzhou's geographical location is special and it is the only place these merchants must pass through when traveling to various countries. Now after the commercial law reform, looking at several countries, no state is more friendly to these merchants than Shuzhou.
Goods from all over the world meet here every day, so there is no need to travel around. Anything they want to buy can be found in Yongxian, free trade.
Not only the businessmen were happy, the officials of Yong County were even happier than them.
Although the tax rate for foreign businessmen has been reduced, the total tax amount has increased tenfold and dozens of times. Those businessmen who come here have to rent shops and rent land to build workshops. This is all money in vain, although this money cannot be touched. , but I’m happy to see it!
What's more, these money will eventually be used in Shuzhou, including their bonuses. If they have a little performance, the year-end bonus alone is worth a year's salary.
Before that, they thought it was the newly arrived Governor Chen who had water in his head, but now they realized that it was clearly His Highness King Jing who had unique vision and foresight...
"It is said that His Highness King Jing is getting married soon..."
"I heard that in a few days, Goulan all over the city will have free charity performances for three days. Now you can watch it to your heart's content!"
"Your Highness has only been in Shuzhou for a few months. The officials have become better and there are no more bandits. The days are the same every day. My mother-in-law is weaving in the cloth workshop and can earn thirty coins a day. I am exhausted every day. Only a few bucks, ugh..."
"Just smile secretly. We have been looking forward to the stars and the moon. How many years have we waited for His Highness to come? This time His Highness is getting married. We have to express our gratitude. We have almost saved a basket of eggs at home, although it is not worth it.
A few dollars, but it’s still a small gesture..."
…
Li Yi has not appeared in public a few times, so he can walk on the street like this with Ruyi Ruoqing without worrying about being recognized.
Ruyi said before that she wanted to pass on the Liu family's kung fu, so Li Yi asked Ruoqing to select a dozen girls of the right age from the hook list. Now that she is free, she will teach them kung fu. Of course, she will also bring drunkenness with her.
Mo and Ruoqing and the others.
Although Zui Mo and Ruo Qing have long passed the age of learning kung fu, their achievements in this life are limited, and they cannot become masters like her or even like Miss Liu Er to run in the martial arts world, but with the guidance of a master, they will not be able to enter the country.
Being slow actually put some pressure on Li Yi, who was always lazy.
Their skills have become more powerful, and it will be difficult for him to inspire his husband again...
If Qing is okay, Zui Mo’s temperament, what will happen after marriage, who will be superior and who will be inferior, who will be active and who will be passive, it’s really hard to say...
However, a man who can bend and stretch, can go up and down, doesn’t need to worry about these things...
Zui Mo's wedding dress has been embroidered long ago. Now that the one year since the death of the late emperor is about to pass, by the beginning of next year, it will be time to return the wedding debt owed to them.
Next to a stall on the roadside, Ruyi and Ruoqing walked over, picked up an exquisite hairpin, inserted it into Ruoqing's head, and said, "This hairpin goes well with my sister..."
Li Yi took a look and saw that this hairpin was indeed exquisite. Judging from the style, it didn't look like it came from Jingguo. In Yongxian County now, businessmen from all over the world gather together. You can buy a lot of good things at any street stall.
Next to the two of them, another woman also picked up one, turned around and said to a man in government uniform: "Ms., this hairpin is beautiful, I want this one..."
The official frowned and said, "Didn't I just buy you one yesterday? Why do you still need it..."
The woman grabbed his arm, shook it hard, and said angrily: "No, I want it, I want it, I just want it..."
"Okay, okay..."
The officer hurriedly agreed. Now that he hears her say "I want it", his legs will become weak unconsciously. It is a lie to say that a woman is worth a thousand pieces of gold in one night. He was a good girl before marriage, but why did she become like this after marriage...
He held his waist up out of habit, looked at the businessman and asked, "How can I sell this hairpin?"
"Your Majesty, you have such good eyesight!" When the businessman saw him picking out the hairpin, his eyes lit up and he said, "This is the hairpin that Queen Wende wore when she committed suicide. It is a priceless treasure..."
"Who are you lying to? Which queen committed suicide? If you talk nonsense again and take you to see the official!" The official glared at him. If the county magistrate hadn't asked them to treat these businessmen better, just based on the lies he just fabricated, he would have been
It's enough to make him shed a layer of skin.
"It's Empress Wende of Wu Kingdom!" The businessman shook his head hurriedly and said: "My lord, you can take a closer look. This style and material are really genuine royal things. If this wasn't for Jingguo,
I don’t dare to sell it either…”
The official looked at him, shook his head and said, "Just tell me how much it will cost."
"One thousand taels!" The merchant from the Wu Kingdom looked at him and said, "You might as well tell the guest the truth, this hairpin is a relic of Empress Wende of the Wu Kingdom, and it can only be sold here. One thousand taels, one thousand taels cannot be sold anymore.
It’s low!”
"Let's go!"
The official took the woman's hand, turned around and left. He had to consider a thousand taels or a thousand coins. One thousand taels was not enough to sell her.
The woman also knew that this thing was not something they could afford. After taking a longing look at it, she could only sigh and leave.
"My guest, don't go, don't go!" Seeing that they were about to leave, the businessman from Wu Kingdom immediately said: "How about reducing it by another two taels, nine hundred and ninety-eight, nine hundred and ninety-eight taels... Hey, my guest, reduce it again.
Five hundred taels, four hundred and ninety-eight, four hundred and ninety-eight are also fine..."
"Wait a minute."
Li Yi picked up the hairpin just now, looked at the businessman from Wu Kingdom, and asked: "You said this is a relic of Empress Wende of Wu Kingdom. Do you have any evidence?"
The businessman from Wu Kingdom was stunned. Unexpectedly, one man left and another one came. The young man in front of him looked much richer than the one just now. Just judging from the clothes of the two female companions around him,
You can see it.
The official who just turned around and left stopped when he heard this and looked back at the man's back, wanting to see who he was. He was so stupid that he wanted to spend a thousand taels of silver to buy such a fake.
